Medway's Vision for Early Years - Foundation Stage 2

At Medway School, the curriculum is designed to recognise children’s prior learning and experiences begun at home and, for some children, in pre-school settings. Every child is recognised as a unique individual, and we welcome and celebrate differences within our school community. We believe that a child’s early experience of school should be a memorable and a positive start to their learning journey. We aim to provide a broad, balanced, varied and enjoyable curriculum which will enable each child to develop emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually, and achieve their full potential.

We use a topic approach to teach the EYFS curriculum which supports learning, widens vocabulary, consolidates and deepens knowledge and ensures children meet their next steps.

The children will learn new skills, acquire new knowledge and demonstrate understanding through the seven areas of the EYFS curriculum:

• Personal Social Education
• Physical development
• Communication and Language
• Personal , Social, Emotional Development.
• Literacy
• Maths
• The World
• Expressive Arts and Design.
